Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Far left is mostly also authoritarian. They say they want everyone to have the same rights but get angry or try to silence people that don't agree with their radical ways. I'm not talking about the left in general but the far left. As such they see it needed to achieve their goals, even if it official is equality for example.
Edit: Removed "Tankies definitely are authoritarian." They are kinda a weird case where they believe or say they believe in Marxist Leninist ideology but then support countries that dress as communist even if they are ruled by a small elite or are actually mostly capitalist. I believe they are kinda gullible far left with mostly a "US bad" sentiment so China and Russia must be good. They are not solely representative of far left authoritarianism

That's not why.
Extreme left - they're out to kill me so I have to defend myself.
Extreme right - they're out to kill me so I have to kill them first.
Centrists throwing around the horseshoe - both sides are so prone to violence, they might as well be the same thing for the rest of us.
Doesn't mean they're correct, they just don't like violence and shy away from it.
Last panel is on point for the majority of humanity because preparing for the future isn't a default command written in our genetic code, but a learned behaviour.
Cool. I guess only people to the right and left are valid. The right is bad, and the left is good. The rest? I guess we don't count...
Gee sounds a little like a far right standpoint... That's so weird, they never go authoritarian!
